Can't remember how to post pics. Standby for further.

So this is my attempt at a hops dryer. I took an old locker, a 1500w space heater, some old lumber and screen, and an inline duct fan, and threw it together. I snagged some hops off the vine a little early, and am giving it a test run. I have a hamburger thermometer stabbed through the...

I have a 275 gallon container for my rain system. It looks like a plastic cube in a metal frame attached to a pallet. It has a ball valve on the bottom and an 8 inch opening at the top. I found it on craigs list! $100 and worth every penny. It lets me water just about every day it doesn't...

Has anyone used this service? The site looks pretty basic, but with the right equipment, I imagine you could do this testing in your basement. Why someone would have this equipment in their basement is another story all together! I was just wondering if it was all legit.

Ok, I won't pack it in just yet. I'll just stick to whole hops for now, and work on the pellets later I guess.

So any advice for a small time guy like myself? Should I just change my marketing strategy? Work on finding an appropriate mill? Give up and grow corn?

There must be something to heat destroying the lupulin. Hops Union uses liquid nitrogen to cool the machine that makes the pellets. I like your idea of better marketing. I'll throw in a few free hops bags with the purchase of 10 pounds of whole leaf hops. How much could a case of those run...

I meant larger brewers. Home brewers seem to love whole hops, but I'd really like to sell to some of the micro brewers in the area. They like the pellets because the dissolve and just leave a sludge. Otherwise the whole hops clog up their equipment. That's what I've heard from 2 or 3 brewers...

Just wondering if you tossed the cones in whole, or if you ground them up first. For a small scale grower, like 100 to 200 plants do you think you could get by with one of these cheap machines? Maybe constantly cleaning it out as you went? Just looking for a cheap way out. No one seems to...

So here is my little operation. I'm looking forward to seeing ANY cones this year. This is my first year, and first attempt. I've got: Mt. Hood Cascade Centennial Horizon Sterling US Fuggle I found some old 5/8" cable on craigslist for cheap and got the poles from a local cedar saw...
